It's just another day full of color

It was a mother's day full with color and rainbows! I dedicated the rest of mother's day afternoon to taking pictures of my rainbow patched kimono and a couple of dresses I'am going to post on my etsy!

I was so excited that the first floral dress I posted sold! So I said "why not, let's post everything I've made during fashion school! 

One of my favorites was the patched kimono where I almost lost my mind. It was made  for a fashion competition,  and I decided to torture myself with sewing small little squares to make my own fabric. It took me a whole week, working about 5 hrs a day. The good thing is that I had my awesome friends to keep me company in the sewing lab dungeon. Each little square cut from various colors of cotton. My garment did end up walking the runway show, but unfortunately it didn't win. It didn't matter because I enjoyed so much making this garment!

Here are some pictures of my mad mother's day! 

Here is how the runway model from the competition wore it, she's not as fabulous! 

P.S those flower glasse are handmade and are posted in my etsy!

I also had a chance to take pictures of a dress I made for my collection's class. My inspiration was the 1960's flower power! I hand made this dress 100%, all the way from hand cut fabric to drafted pattern. It's a princess line top with a circle skirt. Very simple, but I love the details! I hand applique all the rainbows, embroidered all the flowers by hand and sewed all the sequins. I also hand pleated the top chiffon fabric. My professor told me I was crazy to have done all that work! I'm just a lunit for fashion. Any way here are the pictures.
